Elementary is a really good show in its own right. It has it's own unique take on the Holmes mythos and some of the plots are quite clever. To my own surprise, Lucy Liu is a terrific Watson. It did take a few episodes, however, to adjust to a female Watson.

Good to know, thanks. I was quite suspicious about BBC's modern-day Sherlock idea, but all the Maniacs rave reviews finally had me check it out and I'm glad I did. I may do the same with Elementary when I'm in Sherlock Season 3 withdrawals....
